Episode Description from the Publisher

Drama and gossip don’t just hurt feelings; they undermine trust, fracture teams, and make an already difficult mission harder than it needs to be. In this episode, we unpack Principle 7 of the Sherpa Code and expose why gossip is not venting, drama is not harmless, and leaders have a responsibility to shut down small issues before they turn into avalanches. You’ll learn how to set the standard, protect engagement, and roll out a clear team agreement that keeps the climb intact.Rules of Thumb:If someone vents to you about the same thing twice, it's time for an action planIf an Issue Bothers you twice, it's time for an action planIf someone comes to you with feedback, maximise the potential they will do it again
